CEU Course Description

Sudden cardiac arrest accounts for millions of deaths worldwide each year. It can strike without warning and can leave individuals on the brink of death within minutes of onset. Sudden cardiac arrest's lethality is quick and devastating. Fortunately, there is a procedure which possesses the potential to prevent death from sudden cardiac arrest - cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A deep understanding of CPR is required to perform the techniques which make it an invaluable lifesaving procedure. This course will review the most important and universal principles of CPR, while highlighting the essential concepts behind its lifesaving potential.
